Bill Littlefield, late the host of NPR’s weekly sports magazine program “Only A Game,” wrote Who Taught That Mouse To Write? in part to enjoy it with his grandchildren. Light-hearted, surprising, sometimes profound and encouraging, the verses and illustrator Stephen Coren’s engaging drawings will delight readers of all ages on all sorts of levels.

How many books can children, their parents, and their grandparents read aloud together with delight and laughter?

As of now, one more than you thought.

The humorous, sometimes provocative, often goofy rhymes about smug, giggling termites, a jailed aardvark, a confused octopus, and a choir of cows among other extraordinarily entertaining animals make Who Taught That Mouse To Write? such a book. Rhyme-smith Littlefield’s doggerel verses are wonderfully complimented by the drawings of illustrator Coren. NPR’s Robin Young was moved to say Coren’s presentation of the singing cows was “udderly delightful.”
